CAROLINE STRINGER (Sass 1925) M. 33". A 
lovely tone of soft, delicate pink, of fine texture. 
The haft has a soft golden sheen and the beard 
is bright yellow. The flowers are beautifully 
frilled. $ .30; 3 for $ .65 
CASSANDRE (Cas-sandr') (Cayeux 1928) M. 
48" S.F. Enormous flowers of heavy substance 
and beautiful form. S. smoky rose violet. F. 
velvety, deep, rich purple garnet, with lighter 
border. The falls look like heavy velour in dark 
rich Persian colors, exquisitely blended.

CHROMYLLA (Loomis 1931) M. 40". This ex¬ 
quisite yellow iris is more satisfactory each year 
it blooms. Last season it was considered the fin¬ 
est yellow in the garden by many visitors. The 
flowers are large and most beautifully shaped 
and of a uniform shade of lemon chrome. While not 
as deep in coloring as Pluie D’or, the flower has a 
smoothness of texture and finish that we have not 
seen equalled in a yellow iris. It has the finish and 
substance of a magnolia petal. The blooms are 
well distributed on a strong stem and hold their 
pure color to the end. Stock very limited and we 
can sell but one to a customer.

Award of Merit A.I.S. 1932. 
CINNABAR (Williamson 1928) M. 42". Stalk 
well branched, flowers large. S. violet purple; 
F. cottinga purple and very velvety. The effect 
is a rich dark red of one color, but owing to the 
extreme velvety quality of the falls, it looks like 
a bicolor. Some keen iris experts are very en¬ 
thusiastic about this and we agree with them. 
$ .30; 3 for $ .65 
CLARA NOYES (H. P. Sass, 1931) M. 38". In 
general effect this enchanting variety is a yellow, 
orange and apricot blend. The flowers are beau¬ 
tifully spaced and well carried on a tall stem; 
S. soft yellow flushed deep Etruscan red; F. yel¬ 
low ground at haft deepening to the color of the 
standards at the tips and heavily veined a lovely 
Van Dyke red. An intriguing new color.

CLAUDE AUREAU (Claude Or-o') (Cayeux 
1928) M. 36" S.F. This is one of M. Cayeux’s 
masterpieces and is the finest variegata to date. 
We have heard of this one or that one which was 
similar or better, but have yet to see one that 
could be compared with it. Very large and of 
stately habits. S. greenish golden yellow, con¬ 
trasting exquisitely with the long wide falls of 
intense Bordeau wine color, with a wide margin 
of bronzy gold. A glorious flower in full sun.

COLUMBINE (Murrell 1930) M. 40". This lovely 
iris may be visualized as a white Aphrodite— 
one of the parents. The form of the flower has 
the same perfect finish, and the color is particu¬ 
larly clear and dazzling. Although there are a 
few faint purple reticulations at the haft, they 
and the beard are not conspicuous. The stems 
are stiff and well branched and the foliage is 
very fine. 
Silver Medal. Iris Show, London, 1930. $2.50 
COPPERSMITH (Shull 1926) M. 42". Very dis¬ 
tinct and large flowered and very tall stems. A. 
crimson purple; F. Indian lake, shading to dahlia 
carmine, producing a wonderfully rich, coppery 
red effect in the sun. Flowers of heavy substance 
and fine form and finish. $ .30; 3 for $ .75 
CORALIE (Ayres 1932) M. 38" S.F. A lovely 
new variety from the garden of this well known 
hybridizer and of as high a quality as his other 
introductions. The broad standards are a clear 
pale red, flushed lustrous mauve and the falls a 
beautiful shade of glowing wine red. The pure 
golden beard greatly enhances the beauty and 
adds to the dazzling effect of this fine variety. 
The foliage is luxuriant and the plant vigorous. 
H.M.A.I.S. 1932. $13.50 
Dykes Medal, 1933. 
CORONATION (Moore 1927) M. 40". Tall on well 
branched stems. A deep rich golden self. Large 
flowers. It is strong and hardy and a profuse 
bloomer. A fine addition to the yellow class. 
$ .40; 3 for $1.00 
CRYSORO (Nichols 1931) 22". This lovely variety 
is an intermediate and the finest we have seen in 
that class. The ruffled blooms are very large and 
of attractive shape and lasting substance. The 
entire flower is a self, of the deepest and most 
brilliant yellow tone. It blooms over a long 
period and is a much needed addition to this class, 
so necessary in the early garden. 
H.M.A.I.S. 1932. $2.50 
CYDALISE (Cayeux 1930) (See-da-leez) L. 38". 
The first real yellow plicata. The flowers are 
large and well poised upon stiff stems 3 feet tall. 
S. luminous golden yellow, falls softer yellow paling
